ON the evening of the 2nd of Septem- ber, the coastguard at St. Anthony telephoned that he could see a small sailing yacht which appeared to have capsized and have a man clinging to it. There was a heavy sea running.

It was dark when the Falmouth life- boat reached the position given, but by the light of her searchlight she found the "capsized yacht and the clinging man." They were a dead whale. Rewards of £10 17s. were given to the crew.

In the afternoon of the 17th of September the coastguard at Clacton- on-Sea reported a man in difficulties in a canoe, a mile off the pier. The sea was calm. The life-boat went out and found the canoe and the man, but the man was bathing. Rewards of £8 10s. 9d. were given to the crew.

On the 26th of November the Great Yarmouth and Gorleston life-boat went out in answer to a message that a parachute had been seen coming down.

But it turned out to be a meteoro- logical balloon. Rewards of £10 were given to the crew..
